PENNSYLVANIA. The Pardee Scientific Department of Lafayette College, at Easton, is designed for those students who wish to study mainly the sciences, history, and the modern languages, and for those wishing to prepare for professional work in civil engineering, mining engineering, and chemistry. The Franklin Institute, at Philadelphia, is designed for the promotion of the mechanic arts. The instruction consists of a course of lectures on subjects of a scientific and technical character, 30 or 40 of these lectures being delivered each year. Members' tickets admit to these lectures, and members have the privilege of receiving admission tickets for friends. A school of instruction in drawing, embracing the mechanical, architectural, and free-hand branches, has been maintained since the foundation of the Institute. The tuition fee in the drawing school is $5 per term of 16 weeks. The Spring Garden Institute, at Philadelphia, maintains schools in two distinct departments-art and mechanical. Each department has night and day classes, the former being intended for apprentices, boys learning trades, and boys and girls still attending the public schools. The art department includes all the drawing and painting classes and the classes in modelling. The mechanical department includes the mechanical schools in wood and metal, the drawing classes attached thereto, and the classes in metallurgy and chemistry. The Towne Scientific School of the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, offers 5 technical courses of instruction covering a period of 5 years. The courses are chemistry and mineralogy, metallurgy and mining, civil engineering, dynamical engineering, and mechanical drawing and architecture. Instruction in the Wagner Free Institute of Science, at Philadelphia, is given by a course of free lectures on scientific and technical subjects. Lehigh University at South Bethlehem comprises two schools-the school of general literature and the school of technology. The former offers 3 distinct courses, viz, the classical course, the Latin-scientific course, and a course in science and letters. The school of technology includes 5 distinct courses, viz, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, mining and metallurgy, electrical engineering, and chemistry. Ample opportunity for practical work is afforded by the laboratories and work-shops of the University. SOUTH CAROLINA. The branches of study taught at the South Carolina Military Academy at Charleston are grouped under the following departments, viz, mathematics and English, physics, science, history, belles-lettres and ethics, modern languages, and military science and tactics. No degrees are conferred by this institution. VERMONT. Norwich University, at Northfield, is a military, scientific, and classical school. Five regular courses of study have been established, as follows: Civil engineering, architecture, chemistry, science, and literature, and a course in arts. At the completion of any of these courses, the appropriate bachelor's degree is conferred. VIRGINIA. The Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, offers besides a regular academic course, special courses in general and applied chemistry and civil engineering, one of which may be elected by students of the first and second classes. These courses are so arranged as not to disturb the class standing in the academic course, equivalent studies being supplied to maintain the established value of the academic degree. Cadets who successfully accomplish either of the special courses receive in addition to the academic degree, the degree of bachelor of science or of civil engineer. The Polytechnic Institute, at New Market, offers preparatory, academic, and collegiate courses of study. At the completion of the last named, the degree of A. B. or C. E. is conferred. REMARKS UPON TABLES 52 AND 53. Table 52 presents the summarized statistics of 32 schools of science not endowed with the land grant. Of these, 8 are department schools or colleges embraced in larger organizations; the remainder are independent foundations. Their work is generally organized on well-defined lines, and can easily be expressed in tabular form. The total income reported for the year, 12 schools not included, is $631,279. Of this sum, 24 per cent. was derived from productive funds, 21 per cent. from tuition fees, 39 per cent. from State appropriations, and 16 per cent. from other sources. On account of the varied character of the institutions here classed together, the sta tistical information is supplemented by brief descriptions of the individual schools.
